Re: Question on 67 Custom Suburban 4x4

$200! Do it.
Just remember when you do get it running, that the rig has a whole different set of handling characteristics, due to its extreme length. [I see you have a lot of shortbeds.] I went from a shortbed stepside to pulling that sub around and got into a scrape backing into some snowbirds' ricer/minivan in a dark parking lot. Since I was nice enough to leave my contact info on a piece of paper under their wiper, they waited until they got back to Minnesota to file their claim for a $400 broken "remote mirror" and paint job. This was 13 years ago when you could've painted the whole car for 4 bills.
For my '67, I have a Dana 44 [3.73] off a '77 K/5 to replace the stock corp 10-bolt front end. The open-knuckle axle will allow power steering and power disc brakes. "White Fang" was real hard to stop with a big block and drum brakes. More like "Select Alternate Target".
